<p>It's the final day of Zeldapedia. I'm going to really miss this place. As said by the staff members, thank you all for 14 years spent on here. And from me: Thank you all for making this community a great place, and thank you all for your participation.</p><p>
</p><p>Here is my top 5 list of the greatest aspects of Zeldapedia.</p><p>
</p><p>5. Discussion section and Discord server</p><p>OK, this may seem a BIT biased, but to be fair, I put it in fifth place and not first. These two platforms are the reason the community is alive. Yes, we still have a number of editors on the wiki, but it's not that big of a number, and the community side of it was what backed up Zeldapedia. </p><p>
</p><p>Without the two, Zeldapedia would most likely be in a shady place, often hiding in the shadows of Google search results while Zelda Wiki holds dominance. With these two, many of us here have made friends on here, and today we're talking and talking like we've known each other for years, when it's only been only a year for the majority of us.</p><p>
</p><p>4. Temple of Courage</p><p>A popularity contest that has been going on for a long time throughout Zeldapedia history. It's the Zelda community's version of Splatoon's Splatfests, and those didn't exist until 2015! The Temple of Courage has been around since April 2008, and I don't know if it was led by destiny or not, but it was revived on April 2019 after a big hiatus. </p><p>
</p><p>I've barely participated in the ToC, only going in after its April 2019 revival. I still had fun, and its current fate is still yet to be decided. All those fights between our favourite characters, locations, and even items were fun! The cringy intros and some ridiculous reasoning made this a fun contest to participate in.</p><p>
</p><p>3. Encyclopedia</p><p>Countless times I've come to here to find information about lore, or theories. Although I didn't learn about the Timeline here, I did learn a lot of other stuff, such as how Eventide Island in BotW was based off of Koholint Island in LA, or Ganondorf's biography throughout the Zelda franchise, or theories over Skyloft.</p><p>
</p><p>2. Staff</p><p>Many thanks to those staff members who have dedicated their time to this wiki. Volunteering to supply us with their knowledge of the Zelda franchise, keeping this wiki in tip top shape, and watching through the community to keep it friendly and safe. </p><p>
</p><p>1. Community</p><p>What makes Zeldapedia a great place is YOU. You, and everyone around you made this community a fun, friendly, and happy place. Thank you all for spending your time here, discussing about your favourite Zelda games, your theories, or your own personal life. Without you, we couldn't have made it all the way here.</p><p>
</p><p>Yes, I know it sounds cliché, but it's as true as it gets. Thank you so much for dedicating your time here, and a bright future lies ahead for all of us here.</p><p>
</p><p>This may be my very last post here on Zeldapedia. Farewell, Zeldapedia. Thank you all for what you've done for us, and we will all miss you. 14 years. We've made it this far, and it feels like destiny for Zeldapedia to be merging on its anniversary. A great way to finish something that once had a steady and slow start, but evolved to something great.</p>

<p>I will miss Zeldapedia for sure...</p><p>
</p>
</p>
I was gone for a long time so it sucks to see this place go as soon as I get back. Is there a reason its going away?
<p>@Kazden Hughes Long story short: The community has decided to merge with Zelda Wiki, thus Zeldapedia will cease to exist.</p><p>
</p><p>@Nathan: I agree with the list and I'm happy to see how the community has grown over the past few months on the Discord server. I love how it's always been a friendly place to come talk about whatever, whether it's about Zelda games or not. The people on there just made every moment I spent on there enjoyable. The wiki itself has been very useful to me and I thank all the staff members and editors for dedicating their time to Zeldapedia for all these years. Your work is appreciated by all of us! And not ot only have you made an effort to spread knowledge on here, you've also become active in the community by participating to conversations and discussions we have on there. You guys are great! Though I've mentioned this before, I gotta say again that this is the first community I've ever been a part of, and what you guys have created is awesome. In fact, it makes me want to NOT join any other community because I'm pretty sure that what I've found on here is something unique irreplaceable. Goodbye, Zeldapedia. I'm grateful I was here to witness this.</p>
